Powerful Herb that Provides Your Skin with a Glowing Complexion

Cinnamon for a Glowing Complexion

Cinnamon adds a kick to cookies and hot drinks, but it’s also packed with antioxidants — substances that fight skin damage. “It has more antioxidant value than half a cup of blueberries,” says nutritionist Keri Glassman, the author of The O2 Diet. For an easy antioxidant boost, sprinkle half a teaspoon of cinnamon on your coffee grounds before brewing. To ensure you’re using the most potent spices, says Glassman, discard bottles that are more than two years old; also, store spices in a dark cupboard, because heat from the stove and sunlight will decrease their potency.

If you love cinnamon rolls and can’t help but sprinkle a dash of cinnamon onto your coffee, here is great news: cinnamon has some amazing health benefits and helps us get glowing skin, it even prevents hair loss.
